Figure 2 Homology Models of PsT6ODM and PsCODM Based on the Crystal Structure of AtANS PsT6ODM is indicated in green, and PsCODM is indicated in pink. The models were created using SWISS-MODEL. Regions A1 and A2 (residues 145–152) are shown in red, B (residues 334–336) is in yellow, and C1 and C2 (residues 338–346) are in blue. See also Figures S1, S2, S3, and S4 and Tables S1 and S2.

Figure 3 Biochemical Activity of PsCODM Enzymes LC-MS traces of an in vitro enzymatic assay of wild-type and selected mutant PsCODM enzymes (1 μM final enzyme concentration) with 0.25 mM thebaine 5 and 0.25 mM codeine 10 in Tris buffer (100 mM Tris-HCl, 10% [v/v] glycerol, 14 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, pH 7.4) containing 10 mM 2-oxoglutarate, 10 mM sodium ascorbate and 0.5 mM iron (II) sulfate. Reactions were performed at 30°C for 4 hr. Mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) 286 corresponds to morphine 11; m/z 298 corresponds to oripavine 6. LC-MS spectra are normalized to the same y axis scale.
